With-Profits Funds

In a With-Profits Fund the money you pay in is added together with the investments of other customers.

This is then invested in a mixture of shares, bonds, property and cash. We currently have around £3.7 billion invested in our With-Profits Funds.

All our With-Profits investments are subject to a 'smoothing' process. In simple terms, some of the investment returns are kept back in the years when the fund does well and used to boost the returns in years when it does poorly.

We aim to grow the value of your investment through the addition of annual bonuses. The level of bonus we pay changes and is not guaranteed. You may also benefit from a 'terminal' bonus when you take your money out of a With-Profits fund.

We aim to pay a smooth level of returns each year. However, it's important to remember that the value of the investment can go down and you may get back less than invested.

All of the features of With-Profits are explained further on the web page, 'Features of With-Profits'.

We offer a number of With-Profits options, depending on the products you invest in. Each invests in a different mix of assets designed to meet different differing risk appetites.
